heavily armed people, wielding weapons ranging from WW1 Maxim Guns to AK47s,
poised, some standing, some crouching but all with fingers inching towards
triggers, all waiting for a signal.

A flare shoots through the sky. There’s a momentary pause, as if all

steps Erikson and others are taking to bring golf back to the future.
